| Additional information |
Trial strikes for the 1929 Moroccan franc series were produced under the French Protectorate administration, which had controlled Moroccan coinage since 1912. Mohammed V — then only a teenager and not yet the politically charged figure he would become — was sultan in name while French authorities held effective monetary control. The choice to plate bronze in silver for these essais was standard Monnaie de Paris practice for evaluating reverse dies before committing to full silver production runs.
Lec#251 places this piece within Lecompte's specialized documentation of French colonial and protectorate coinage, a reference that remains the primary authority for Moroccan issues of this period.
